SAN BERNARDINO, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Nov. 19, 2003

San Bernardino-based Virtual Images announced that it has just completed a project with ABKCO Records for the release of a new Rolling Stones CD titled "Sympathy for the Devil REMIX."

ABKCO records chose lenticular to grab consumers' attention at retail, and to add to the collectors' appeal of the release. The image features the famous "lips and tongue" in flames which dance around as the card is moved. The band's name and the album title also disappear and then reappear.

Alisa Coleman-Ritz, Vice President Music, ABKCO Music & Records, Inc, stated, "The fact that this package charted at number one on Billboard's singles sales charts without the benefit of concentrated airplay is testimony to the arresting visual power of this unique lenticular application of the Stones' legendary logo."

Several hundred thousand lenticular jewel case inserts were made for release in Europe and the United States.
